Patan is a one of the largest cities in Nepal, located just across the Bungamti river from Kathmandu. Only a few minutes from downtown Kathmandu, Patan offers a more laidback Durbur Square full of temples, statues, and palaces, plus the amazing Patan Museum and dozens of options for purchasing jewelry, figures, masks, and other traditional products.

Get in

• Rickshaws from Thamel or Durbar Square in Kathmandu
• Taxis are a more expensive option
• It is possible to walk from Kathmandu, thought the pollution and heat makes it seem longer than it really is (about 2 hours if you take your time and look around).

Get around

• The city and its sites are best seen on foot.

Eat

• Cafe de Patan - a pleasant, centrally located restaurant and cafe (see 'sleep' section)
• Patan Museum Cafe
• Kidz: The food station Great place to eat small pizzas, sandwiches, footlongs, wraps, sundaes, mocktails and gourmet coffee. They also have the most correct (by Irish standards) Irish coffee in Kathmandu Valley.
• Downtown The best value restaurant in Patan. Great food and easy on the pockets.

Patan, unlike Kathmandu, shuts down just after dark. Nightlife is restricted to hotel bars and restaurants.
